"Bro, here's their logic. RK-Bro does not need the tag titles. Okay fine, they don't need the tag titles, they're over, they're babyfaces, they're popular, they're selling merch, the kids love them, the whole nine yards. Are you going to sit there and tell me Chad Gable and Otis have heat? There isn't a tag team with heat to but the belts on. We don't care about Gable and Otis, they don't have heat,'' said Russo

Otis and Gable had been feuding with RK-Bro for a long time and they finally achieved what they had set out to do. This is Otis' first championship win in the company.

#1 WWE legend Booker T on Chris Jericho possibly showing up at Royal Rumble

Hall of Famer Booker T speculated on what would happen if AEW star Chris Jericho was to appear at this year's Royal Rumble.

He said that Jericho might not be welcomed by fans and could be 'booed out of the building'.

"Let's think about this for a second - Jericho's a** may be even booed out of the building, coming into a WWE arena. We don't know what would happen,'' said Booker

He further added that there is no way to ascertain what would happen if the Demo God did show up. The former WCW Champion wasn't in favor of either company making a bold move like that right now.
